Braga are undefeated in their last 15 matches against Portimonense in all competitions. Portimonense have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 5 home matches against Braga in all competitions. Portimonense have failed to win their last 12 matches (Liga NOS). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Braga's last 4 games (Liga NOS). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Portimonense's last 6 games (Liga NOS).
Pedrão and Ricardo Matos will miss out through injury. Willyan and Wellinton Jr. should start as a result. On the other hand, Fahd Moufi is back available after serving a ban and will likely replace Julien da Costa at right-back. Abel Ruiz is enjoying a wonderful run of form and might get the nod over Vitinha upfront. With Fabiano suspended due to an accumulation of bookings, Yan Couto will probably start at right wing-back. Carlos Carvalhal opted for a 3-5-2 shape last time out but will likely revert to a 3-4-3 formation here.
Portimonense extended their winning drought to 12 matches in the league as they were defeated by GD Estoril-Praia last weekend. They're defensive process is a cause for concern and they will need to improve in that regard if they want to get at least a point from Sunday's match. SC Braga's great European journey had another chapter as they defeated AS Monaco to qualify for the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals. Carlos Carvalhal's men, however, have failed to impress in the league - they lost to Gil Vicente last time out, and failed to win the last three matches. The hosts might capitalize on their opponents' fatigue and could actually get something from Sunday's match, but might not be able to return to winning ways just yet. A draw is on the cards. 1:1
